Happy 1st Birthday Kaeleb

Wow! One year already! I cant believe a whole year has past already. 365 days. Really? It seems like just yesterday I was holding my baby boy in my arms.

You were born weighing only 7 lbs 7 oz and were 21.5 inches long. now a whole year later you are 30 lbs 14 oz and are 30.25 inches long.

Today we celebrated with the friends who also were there to welcome you to this world, Amy, Crissy, and Erin. I still am trying to figure out where the time went. I cant believe this is it, no more 1st birthdays. You are the best baby. Such a little cuddle bug and so serious. You arent walking yet, but that is just around the corner. You will stand without holding onto anything and you also walk if you are pushing something. I just cant believe how big you are getting.

I love you sweet baby boy!

Mean Mommy

Kaeleb turns ONE on Thursday. Im trying to come to terms with this but I just can't believe my baby is turning one.
Part of turning one in the McGovern household is that you give up the bottle. I dont remember having this hard of a time with it with the other 2 kids. Kaeleb is fighting me tooth and nail. Warning...these pictures may break your heart....you have been warned :)

Please just give me my bottle back!

Oh, you are such a mean mommy!

Look at my sad face...

Okay...I guess Ill try this sippy cup

Dont mess with me again!

Lexi's Cheer Recital

Yesterday Lexi had her first recital for cheer. It was so cute and she had a lot of fun. It was a long day but the end result was worth it. The girls have been working on their routine since February and they did a great job.

This is the team that Lexi will be with for competition this year so it was cute to see how well the girls did together. They had full dress rehersal on Saturday morning. It started at 9:30 and we didnt get out of there until 1:00pm! We then grabbed a quick bite to eat and had a quick nap. Grandma and Mandy arrived around 3:30 and we ate dinner at 4:30 so I could get Lexi ready to leave by 5:15. We had to be there at 5:45 and the recital started at 6:30. Lexi's team was number 19 out of 26 so she sat with us for the first half until intermission then I took her to the dressing room.

She did such a fantastic job and everyone was so proud of her and the other girls.

Erin and Chloe and Amy, Harold, Andrew, and Aubrey came to support Lexi too and Andrew brought Lexi a dozen roses.

It was a great time and now I am so excited for the competitions to start!

And I just had to add this picture of Travis waiting to watch sissy. He face is priceless!

Tired

Travis is normally a very good napper. He falls asleep almost instantly and stays asleep for a long time.
Yesterday he decided to fight me on a nap. I know some people will say that he is 3 and doesnt really need a nap anymore, but this child does. He is super cranky if he misses his nap and especially on days that Lexi has cheer practice.
He went to his room at noon like always and came out 4 times to go to the bathroom. He also came out with any little piece of trash to throw away that he could find. I kept telling him to stay in his room because he needed a nap. He said "I did take a nap" and I said " no you didnt". This went on for four hours! Finally at 4:30 I went to tell him to just come out because we had to take Lexi to cheer and this is what I found:

See I knew he hadnt taken a nap. Poor thing finally just fell asleep in the most uncomfortable position. I dont know how anyone could possibly sleep like that except for a certain 3 year old boy.

Easter 2009

The kids had a fantastic Easter! Lexi and Travis were very excited about the easter bunny coming. I have a feeling Lexi snuck out a little early to see if the Easter bunny had come yet since she described what she got in her basket before she even got out of bed.


They made out like Bandits!






The easter bunny brought them so much stuff! Kaeleb had a blast pulling everything out of his basket and banging it on the table.

After we ate breakfast and got dressed I managed to get one cute picture of all three kids. Then we headed to Austin for dinner at Mandys house where the Easter bunny hid 80 some easter eggs filled with more candy. The weather was fantastic at 85 degrees with perfectly blue skies. I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter!

Kaeleb at 11 months

I have MAJORLY slacked and not posted about Kaeleb's 11 month birthday. So this is a coule weeks late but you understand Im sure!

Kaeleb turned 11 months old on March 30th (I know! I cant believe his 1st birthday is right around the corner!). At 11 months old he weighs a whopping 30 pounds! He wears 18-24 month clothes and is still only crawling. I am okay with his not walking at this point but my patience about that is growing thin. Carrying a 30lb baby is not easy on my back :). This is all new to me since Lexi and Travis were both walking by 10 months old. He has recently started standing without holding onto the table so Im sure walking is not far off. We have been trying to ween him from the bottle but he is definately not going easy. He is a very happy boy but is still very serious. It takes a lot to get him to laugh and smile if he doesnt know you. He says "da-da" all the time and when you aske him to say "ma-ma" he just laughs and says "da-da" again. He loves to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep and loves playing with his sissy and brother. I cant believe hes 11 months already!
